Tomcat 4.0 and HTTP BASIC auth using LDAP (Netscape Directory Ser
ver)
Hi:
We have our existing application running on iPlanet that uses the Netscape
LDAP implementation. We want to migrate that application to Tomcat 4.0 /
Apache. Is there any How-To for establishing HTTP basic auth with LDAP using
Tomcat 4.0/Apache 1.3?
TIA,
Hitesh.

You can probably use JNDIRealm to do this. However, there are a few issues
with the current implementation having to do with the password formats that
are supported. Basically, you have to have the passwords in the directory
stored as clear-text, or as a hash supported by Tomcat and if I remember
correctly the hash has to be stored as a hex string rather than a base64
encoded string.
I've tried it with Tomcat 4 in standalone mode and it works. I haven't tried
it with using Apache Web Server. I think if you use mod_webapp, it will
work.

Hello.
Trying using this module, mod_auth_ldap, and it's located at:
http://www.muquit.com/muquit/software/mod_auth_ldap/mod_auth_ldap.html
It works pretty good.
I'm using on Apache 1.3.2 and Tomcat 3.2.3 on a windows 2000 server. You'll
have to setup the directory to use basic auth. Once logged in, the
RemoteUser variable will contain the authenticated user.
